The rules on allowing motorhomes into Guernsey are being streamlined to boost tourism.
Under a new scheme campsite owners will be allowed to apply for permission to use part of their sites for motorhomes.
Visits will be limited to one month and the number of motorhomes will be restricted to between 6 and 8 on each site.
The use of caravans and motor homes in Guernsey has been carefully managed since the 1970s to ensure the protection of the island's environment. The new rules are hoped to balance the need to promote tourism while protecting Guernsey's special character and heritage.
Director of Planning Control Services, Jim Rowles said: "This proposed change in planning approach will continue to carefully regulate the use of caravans and motorhomes, while making a valuable contribution to tourism on the Island by allowing the limited siting of motorhomes at the Island's main campsites for overnight visitor accommodation."
